Chapman Proof

There is no getting thru to uneducated folks, but I thought I would run these by every one here.

A 64SMS set

She says that she doesn't mind selling them for pennies on the dollar, and that a chief grader TIO at ANACS said they are both 100% legit.

Ha! Did you see the signature on her "Charles Russell" painting?

I am not sure what that reads except it doesn't read Charles Russel

 

She says that TIO is the chief authenticator at ANACS is that true?

That's definitely a 1964 SMS Set, a "Self Made Set".

 

And maybe a Charlie Chapman proof?

 

Thought Tio sounded a little funny.

This Gal seems pretty adamant, Says she walks all her coins into ANACS and talks to this guy. I wonder if he is one of the Reps.

 

That's good, I should have used that one in our conversation.

 

New reply about the Chapman. That he didn't directly tell her that it was a Chapman but the coin was clean of any bag marks so she went with the "proof" designation. I am sure they will sit unsold. I just hope some one doesn't believe her nonsense.

 

You talking about this Guy?

TIO - Terrible Information Ossifer

 

Yes indeed.

 

Does not even look MS to Meow. 1964 AU BS SMS set is what meow would call it.

 

Polishing lines are common on 64 Half's and Dimes, even the quarter has some examples. I don't see anything conclusive to say they aren't MS.
